Marbella to Host a Benefit Match for Debra Butterfly Skin

Marbella will host a charity football match on June 24th at 8:00 PM, featuring the Spanish veteran teams from the Spanish Football Association (AFE) and the Under-20 World Champions. The local councilor, Lisandro Vieytes, presented the initiative today alongside the general secretary of the entity, Diego Rivas; the coordinator of the association, Natividad Romero, and the player Rubén de la Red. Vieytes highlighted that "it is a pride for the city to have been chosen to host a great event that combines sport and solidarity, and will donate all proceeds to a group that plays a vital role in improving the lives of those affected by the disease and their families."

The councilor noted that the Marbella Football Center facilities, where the match will take place, "are home to top-level competitions due to their quality and many national and international teams conduct their pre-season or season there." He encouraged citizens to enjoy an event that will feature coaches Antonio Camacho and Onésimo Sánchez, and veteran players José María Movilla, Koke Contreras, Raúl Tamudo, Rubén de la Red, Apoño, Mista, and from the under-20 champions, led by Pepe Carcelén and Antonio Álvarez, players like Xavi Hernández and Carlos Marchena, among others.

Rivas thanked the institutional support and stated that "the footballer, besides competing, is also charitable and events like this give us the opportunity to reconnect with friends and continue linking sport with social causes." He detailed that tickets, costing 3 euros, can be purchased at the Debra headquarters or at the venue itself, and there is also an option to contribute through a Row 0. De la Red expressed that "it is very satisfying to play in a match like this, to do it in a city like Marbella, and to be able to help those who need it most." Finally, Romero explained that "we currently support more than 370 families throughout Spain and these types of actions are very important to continue our daily work and promote research."
